YACT: Fog Lights

[olds]

Are there any lights that actually help illuminate the road when it is foggy out? I've tried yellow lenses, I've tried clear lenses, mounted low, mounted high, etc. Are they just for looks?

You need to mount them low, have a decent cut-off on them (so they don't go too high) and stick your headlights on sidelights. Then you should be able to see better. You don't want your main beams on when it's foggy, because they just bounce off the fog and give you a white blanket in front of you.

But most of the time it's purely for looks, and these will be people who drive all day with their main beams and fog lights on :roll:

Those aren't "fog lights", they're "auxiliary driving lights."

Real amber foglights are like projecting the sun directly on the road in front of you.

Just turning off my brights always worked for me in the fog.

The sun? Wouldn't that melt the newer (plastic) cars?

I like the guys who ride around with their yellow parking lights on better. It's friggin' sweet!

Do you uppercut yourself to the face when you see that?

while either of those is an acceptable and very impressive manner of demonstrating anger.....I usually go for the tried and true method of biting my dog in the tail until he screams and headbutts me as a way of venting my displeasure with people like that.
